"Concerns over the use of nitrogen have been increasing due to the high cost of fertilizers and environmental pollution caused by excess nitrogen applications in paddy fields. Several methods are available to assess the amount of nitrogen in crops. However, they are either expensive, time consuming, inaccurate, and/or reguire specialists to operate the tools. Researchers have frecently suggested remote sensing of chlorophyll content in crop canopies as a low-cost alternative to determine plant nitrogen status. This article describes the most recent technologies and the suitability of different remote sensing platforms for determining the status of chlorophyll content and nitrogen in crops. Finally, the role of vegetation indices in nutrient assessment is explained. Among different remot sensing platforms, a low altitude remote sensing system using digital cameras, which record data in visible bands can be used to determine the status of nitrogen and chlorophyll content.
